If the course of the proposed road Is "level as a barn floor," It may be necessary to spend considerable money In transporting from a distance the material needed for surfacing. Sometimes, with absolute honesty on the part of contractors, and strictest economy, the cost of constructing a given piece of roadway provokes astonished comment because It is so great, says Mllwsulree Evening Wisconsin.

Fine Macadam Germane forced the times, unfortunately, costs are swollen by reason of dishonesty and waste. Now and then, however, 'there are surprises In the other direction. There Is now circulating an Interesting account of the surprisingly low cost of constructing a stretch of highway In Missouri. It seems the state highway commissioner reported to the effect that the earth road In Missouri was a piece of considerable length In the Wellington and Napoleon district. Whereupon the president of the National Old Trails Road association at once wrote to Wellington to ascertain the coat of this road. He was told that the total expenditure bn U was six dollars a mile. Thinking he wrote again, only to this learn that the figure named was correct. The district. It appears, owns modern road machinery and pays fair but moderate wages to an engtneman and two grademen. The per diem expenses run to an even twelve dollars Two miles are graded dally. Roads elsewhere In Missouri that arp no better for practical purposes coBt six thousand dollars a mile. The surprising revelation thus set forth would seem to Impose upon officials entrusted with responsibility on behalf of the people when good roads are to be built the duty of making careful surveys and estimates before Jetting the contracts.

Of this number more than a million and a half are automobiles used for bustness and pleasure purposes. About 60,000 motor trucks are now In use. The revenues received in the various states from the registrations of these mptor vehicles amount to more than twelve and a half million dollars annually. The greater share of thlafevenue Is being used for road Improvement purposes. and provides a splendid fund .Yom which great progress should be made in the construction of permanent highways. With the efficient and economical use of these new funds there is no reason why America should not take first rank In road building operations for spine time to come. Farmers Review. Dae. 17, 1914.
